Hello. My name is Marisa and I am a tour guide in the ancient, mysterious and beautiful city of Lisbon. Lisbon is an ancient city and Phoenicians, Romans, Muslims, Catholics passed through this city all left their mark in heritage, words and food. Lisbon was also a city of spies. Even the real James Bond ( yes, it was a real James Bond) lived here and worked here. So, if you want to join me in this journey, I offer you, in Lisbon, 2 tours: a tour to discover the old town of Lisbon and a spy tour, focusing on world war II. But if you want to experience a magical place, I'll take you to Pena Palace. Pena Palace is a must-see, in the beautiful, romantic and world heritage, Sintra Village. And in the end, before you leave Portugal, I promise you will understand the true meaning of the Portuguese word Saudade. See you soon. Goodbye or Adeus!

I became a Tourist Guide in 2015 when I decided to give professional continuity to a life that had already crossed other professions. My passion for history and travel brought me the desire to study and share knowledge about the "history of places", to go beyond what we see, to enter the soul of what we visit and to learn a little about the mentalities of those who inhabited and lived in the same places we visit today. Private visits are the best way for me to express myself. In my 7-seater van, I welcome my guests in English, French, Italian and Portuguese. My tours focus on an off-the-beaten-track approach to surprise my clients by discovering the natural and historical beauty of Portugal, but even places that are considered too touristy can be given a unique and meaningful reading.

Being an off-road driver for over 30 years, I know Portugal inside out, literally “off the beaten track”. Making friends along the way and getting to know their culture and history, led me to organize tours and trips. Me and my team of guides know all corners of Portugal. Our team members include me (John), Rodrigo, Maia, Paulo and Ricardo. We all put our heart and soul into each experience. As a result, taking travellers beyond the destination, away from the usual touristic hustle. With this, we have been leading Private Tours in Portugal for over 10 years.

My name is Ricardo and I was born and raised in Porto City. Although tourism changed Porto for the best (in my opinion) for the last 5 years, me and my family had to move out from Porto, into the bush, housing and living costs became very high and we made the choice that we should move out to the countryside. In this last year 2020 and even this year 2021 with pandemic work just fell down drastically and we had to adapt. Making Port Wine, Muscat wine and sometimes olive oil in a amatuer way since 2014, this hobbie become my family income. With vineyards and olives fields almost abandoned from the pandemic I rolled up my sleeves and went to work, asking neighbours and friends if I could keep their grapes and olives for harvest time, their answers were immediately YES Dividing my life between Porto and Douro Valley, me and my family feel completely safe, happy and relaxed with this new way of living your life. Come and see my amazing town Porto and Douro Valley Wine Region from the eyes of a local !!! Hope to see you soon. Cheers !!! Ricardo

In the United Kingdom, I graduated in Information Systems and returned to Porto to get a Master's degree in Management. During my degree in the United Kingdom, I made friends with students from various corners of the world: Italians, Germans, French, Senegalese, Thais, Malawians, Turks, Poles, Czechs, etc., also living in students accommodations in the university campus, where the kitchens were shared, one of the things that gave me greater pleasure, was to share our different gastronomies, besides, each one love to mention what can best be discovered in each country and in their native cities, without forgetting soccer preferences! At the same time, I got a part-time job on the weekends at the Holiday Inn Hotel, to help with my expenses. There where I worked nights in the bar and restaurant. Here, once again, I shared and heard stories from the four corners of the world from my colleagues and guests. Then, on my return to Portugal and after taken a Master degree in Business Management at FEP (Faculty of Economics of Porto), I started working 9 hours a day in an accounting office making business and financial plans. Tired and seeing that this would not be a future for me, I decided to create my own business in the tourism sector and in an area that has always attracted me, the travel sector. That's how I decided to open a travel agency initially specializing in incoming tourism, more specifically on sightseeing tours and later in outgoing tourism. As I felt I needed more knowledge in the area, I enrolled in the course of certified tourism driver of the Escola de Turismo do Porto. This was an intensive 350-hour course of study in local guiding and domestic and international tours directing. I received my SNATTI (National Union for Tourist Guides) membership certificate on May December 20,2020, and it has been a blessing ever since. I have a Portuguese Class B Driver’s License and I also have a First Aid Certificate.

I’ve been touring the Azores islands since I was 14, experiencing the trails and discovering the most magical places that this archipelago has to offer. At the age of 16, after "stealing" my father's diving mask, I became fascinated with the underwater world, exploring the most untouchable reefs of the Atlantic North . Later, as soon as I finish high school, I start to travel the world embarking on one of my greatest adventures in Asia, where I graduated in Law at the University of Macau. Back on the island, I developed a different tourism project, providing sensations of well-being and pleasure, based on high quality standards.

My family and I had a great day with Duarte. He is a great conversationalist and extremely courteous and considerate. He planned the tour to my family's specifications and we appreciated his flexibility. You cannot find a more knowledgeable and passionate guide and we would not hesitate to book him again for a future tour in the Lisbon area. Thanks to Duarte for showing us a great time.

“Best experience we could have asked for ”
Joanna was the best tour guide we could have asked for on our trip to the Douro valley. She was thoughtful, prepared and knowledgeable. We loved getting to know her life story in and outside of Portugal and her view of the Portuguese culture. She called and confirmed reservations and let restaurants knew if we were running late. At the end she felt like a friend not a guide and we look forward to our paths crossing again!
Joana A.
Being able to be your tour guide in Douro Valley was amasing! The day started with our drive towards Douro, and with such nice conversations about our lives and also about the differences & similarities of our countries, the long drive time passed by very quickly. It's so nice when you are able to share your knowledge and learn from others at the same time. Then, we explore the region in a relaxed way, yet making the most of your day, between typical villages, wine tastings, view points and some laughs along the way. Was indeed a very special day in an unique location and totally felt like showing my country to some friends! Also, hope our paths cross again and wishing great trips around the world. Thanks again for choosing me as your tour guide!

Escape towards the Alentejo region with a local leading the way and immerse yourself in community culture by participating in a traditional pottery workshop or enjoying a leisurely meal at a family-owned restaurant. The flavors of Alentejan cuisine shine through dishes like migas and açorda, and creating your own pottery souvenir is a great way to preserve the memory of your trip.
A private guide can lead you to the lesser-known town of Monsaraz, a picturesque hilltop settlement with panoramic views of the surrounding countryside and the Alqueva Dam. Exploration has just gotten easier!
